HTC Thunderbolt Release Date

Ugh, just went to BestBuy and they said if the phone comes out on the 24th, and I'm on vacation and can't pick it up until the 28th - then I cannot get the free Buyback. I can't even pay for the phone ahead of time or anything. If it comes out on the 28th - then I'm also screwed because the free Buyback program ends on the 26th.

Sounds like I'm going be cancelling my pre-order and getting a 1-year contract from Verizon.

if you buy me one ill go pick up urs when ur on vacation so u get the buyback program! :icon_ banana:
 
I agree that VZW could have been a bit more forthcoming (even though they never have been before), but it shouldn't be much longer.

In my opinion the iphone did have a lot to do with Verizon being so tight-lipped about the TBolt launch date. Not do much because they were worried about returns, they just wanted all eyes on the iPhone for a while.

You guys all realize that the buyback program is a total ripoff and will be even more of a ripoff when you have to pay for it, right? You should be able to sell your phone for considerably more on eBay. If you're just lazy then I get it, but trust me - you'll make more money selling it yourself than BB will give you.

It's common sense, but if you don't trust me then go find the segment that good morning America did on it last week where they compared the BB program to eBay on a year old Iphone. You'll be amazed at how much BB plans to screw you out if money.

Exactly, a D1 with a cracked screen can easily pull in $150 on ebay. Best Buy's buy-back is a joke.

20th, or 21st! Not 24th. It wouldn't be because of the ad. I think BB could get sued if it was false honestly.

Everyone hates it when I suggest this but it's looking like BB may sell it a few days before vzw. Look at the evidence: 1) a BB ad for this Sunday, the 20th, say new and not "coming feb 2x"; and 2) a leaked shipping invoice for a vzw store has a delivery date for the 23rd.

I don't understand why everyone thinks this is so impossible. It's not like people who buy phones at BB aren't going to still be paying gigantic monthly bills to vzw.

Based on today's new evidence, i'm putting my money on BB this Sunday and vzw on Thursday.

From your fingers to God's ears cuz frankly I think getting this phone released is going to take an act of God. But Sunday would be awfully sweet seeing as it is my birthday and the TB is suppose to be my b-day present from my hubby.
 
I hope to put an end to all this wild speculation on the release date, when I get to visit my neighborhood Soothsayer, while wearing my lucky mood ring! :D:D:D
 
I hate how when you go to verizonwireless.com they have a HUGE ad for iphone. If I wanted an IPHONE I would have gotten it already. Get rid of the stupid ad. Spend more time telling people when these phones are coming out.
